Vampire Fangs

Yes I have another Halloween look today with some golden charms from Charlies Nail Art.

The first week back at school hasn't been that bad, but went quickly too!

So these you get 2 charms that have a curved back so they fit nicely on your nails.

They are called Vampire Fangs and are only 49p and measure 7mm x 6mm.
I tried to do some freehand dripping blood, but not entirely happy with how it came out!
Still though, it a gory look suitable for Halloween.

You could use these fangs to create many different Halloween looks! Applied to my nail with matte topcoat and stuck really well.

Back to School Stamping

Yes I'm aware all schools have now reopened after the 6 week Summer holiday, but I'm finally here with some Back to School stamping using a square stamping plate from Moyou Nails Fashion. This plate is on a sale price of £1.99, so grab one while they are still in stock, its Trendy 458.

A fab little plate packed full of all things to do with school, from books to pencils, a calculator and pc monitor to some cute crayons and an apple for the teacher!
So I started with a white base and stamped some blue lines to represent paper in a school book, then with black stamped images from various parts of the plate and coloured a few in. Then stamped onto my nails using foil glue. Finished with a matte top coat.

Marble Stamping

Well my daughter starts back at school today, those past 6 weeks went by so fast, but now back to the normal early morning routine, not that I had a late morning during the holidays as I was still waking up early!

After a super busy weekend, I'm back with my first review of the week.

Another stamping plate from Born Pretty Store, and one I've been wanting to try for a while.

Texture L001 item number 46916 is a plate full of stone marble images.

For my first look, I started with a white base and stamped with black, grey and gold. You can see how well this plate stamps in my video at the end of this post.
I think I went overboard with the colours and wasn't truly happy with how this looked, but I wore it for a few days and got lots of compliments, we are our own worst critic!

Then I chose a different image and created this pink marble look stamping with a darker pink and rose gold.

The amount of different designs you can create with this plate is endless and one I'd recommend if you too love stamping!

Halloween Water Decals

So I'm here with my first Halloween nails of 2019! Every Friday I'll be here with a new Halloween look using items from Charlies Nail Art.

If you want to stock up on Halloween items early, use my discount code BNM15 over on the Charlies Nail Art website.

Back to my nails today and these fab water decals.

I've taken this pic of these decals from the Charlies Nail Art website as I forgot to take a pic before I did my video, which you can see at the end of this post.Scare Fest Halloween decals can create the perfect Halloween scene, so easily. I made a purple to silver ombre as my base then applied the decals.

The ghosts are so cute, and the house and creepy tree are so detailed. They are just fantastic and only 89p!

As I said you can find these over on the Charlies Nail Art website under the seasonal section on the side menu. Not forgetting to use my discount code BNM15.

I did 2 mani's using this plate, the first using the single fruit and you can watch me create the look in my video at the end of this post.

My 2nd look I used 4 different larger images on each nail and I think it goes together well.

The layering part takes some getting used too, and you do need a steady hand, but when you get it right it looks amazing.
Please use my discount code BABX31 over on the Born Pretty Store website when you place an order.

Falling Leaves Nail Art

So the nice hot warm sunny weather has gone, it was nice while it lasted, but it wasn't nice trying to get to sleep! This brings me nicely into my review today, on another set of full nail wraps from Charlies Nail Art.

Even though I slightly shortened my nails, I was still able to use these nails wraps, plus a bit of magic lol, with stiletto nails I cut off the excess and joined it to the tip so carefully that it doesn't really notice!

You also don't need a base colour for these nail wraps, so they are quick and easy to use and come in many different designs. These are priced at 89p.

Sealed with a glossy top coat and done! As easy as that with with nail wrap decals.
Why not use my discount code BNM15 over on the Charlies Nail Art website.

Milvart Water Decals

Nail Art UK stocks Many fabulous items, from their own water decals and nail stickers to items from What's Up Nails and Milvart.

I've used and review foil water decals from Milvart and they are just fabulous. So when I received these from Nail Art UK I couldn't wait to try them.

These abstract Golden foil water decals are so detailed and I love the colourful diamond on each. For my base I started with white then added a sparkle top coat. These decals don't need long in water and apply nicely with enough slide for perfect placement. Sealed with a water based top coat so not to ruin the foil look, then my regular fast dry topcoat.

Every so pretty and even fit my long nails!! Each decals on the sheet is differently sized, and any excess is easily cleaned up with acetone. Just fantastic!
You can find and follow Nail Art UK onFacebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Stay safe and much love.....

Summer Glitter Regular Polish

I'm so behind as time has run away from me! So I've only had time to swatch 1 of 3 regular polishes from Lovcarrie over on Aliexpress.

I will do the other 2 in my next post, but for today I have an absolutely gorgeous shimmery mahogany brown number L1008.

Check out my quick swatch video on Instagram if you'd like to see how nicely this applied. Super pigmented and just beautiful. A perfect Autumn shade. Swatched with 2 coats and a glossy top coat.

Then I wanted to see if these polishes stamp, so used number L905 (swatch coming in my next post) and a leaves image, and yes it stamped perfectly and looks stunning with the base colour.

As I said I'll have the other 2 swatches next week as I also have other reviews to do, playing catch up is so fun!!
But how beautiful does this look? These Lovcarrie regular polishes are absolutely amazing and you can find them plus many other gorgeous shades on Aliexpress, and with the sale still on, why not grab yourself some.
You can also find them over on Instagram andYouTube.
Stay safe and much love.....
